Athanasia is an amazing find! I am a first time Rover user and was very nervous. Athanasia put both me and my dog Presley at ease at the meet and greet. We booked her and she dropped in on Presley three days on a row -- doing a great job! She is an excellent communicator and coaxed great smiles from him in home and outside on their walks. Athanasia clearly loves dogs and cares for her Rover pets well. I highly recommend Athanasia and will use her again and again!!

About: I've grown up and taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. From family to friends I've been able to watch, walk, play, take care, and feed everyone's pets. I have my own dog named Dexter who is a 5 year old Dachsund mix. He was rescued from a breeder/hoarder house in Riverside and in the beginning he was very anxious, shy, timid, and afraid of people. Now my boy is happy, enjoys cuddling, and is able to be around people that love and care about him. I'm currently waiting on training for a full time job in July so right now my schedule is open from Monday to Saturday. Besides caring for my own dog who is super friendly with other dogs my schedule is open at the moment and will work with people's schedule to give their dog the care and attention they deserve. I currently live in an apartment with a patio and in the back is a grass yard for everyone to share. I always make sure my dog has his walks everyday and sometimes I'll take him to the dog park which he loves. Give him his breakfast and dinner as scheduled. Clean his ears as well as bathe him when its needed. Along with making sure he takes his vitamins each day. For other dogs I would do as requested walk, feed, play, and give them attention or space if needed.

Allen is so great with our 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy and does a great job making him feel special during his visits. Allen has great patience with our puppy's incredible energy and shenanigans! Another nice thing is that Allen gives us a great report on how things are going and makes us feel at ease while we are away. We highly recommend him to take care of your pets! Thank you Allen!

About: I’ve grown up in a home with 5+ pets at all times, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. This hands-on experience has made me comfortable with a wide range of animal needs, from feeding routines to basic care and handling. I’ve also completed drop-in visits for friends and family, providing reliable, attentive care that keeps both pets and owners at ease. Currently I am a Starbucks Barista, I typically work late afternoon closing shifts. I am off by 9:30. I’m available to come in before and after work to check up on your furry friends <3. Growing up with multiple pets, I’m very attentive to creating a safe and stress-free environment. I follow routines carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, including German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had two of my own and taken care of them their whole life, from long walks at the park, beach’s, bathing, vet appointments, grooming and playing with them until we’re both tired. I had my first dog until he was 12 and unfortunately passed due to cancer and had to take care of him while he was going through it. I work part time mostly at nights so I’m available to walk dogs during the morning and day time. I’m available on weekends and during the weekdays as well When I had my own two dogs I would make sure that they were kept safe in the backyard as well as inside and that they always had plenty of food and water and toys to play around and had fun.

About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to my own dog and cat for years, giving them daily walks, playtime, feedings, and lots of love. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets countless times — everything from energetic puppies needing basic training and lots of exercise to senior dogs requiring gentle walks, medication administration, and extra patience.What sets me apart? I’m a local Downey guy who’s always on time, super reliable, and treat every pet like my own family member. I’m great at reading their energy (whether they need high-energy play or chill cuddles), sending daily photo/video updates so owners never worry, and keeping homes spotless. Plus, my flexible schedule means I’m available for last-minute bookings or overnight stays. Your pets will get safe, fun, and loving care every time! Pet care easily fits into my flexible daily and weekly routine. As a full-time real estate professional and local Downey resident, my schedule is adaptable — I’m often out showing properties or running errands around town, which makes drop-ins, walks, and midday check-ins super convenient. Mornings and evenings are wide open for longer walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight stays. I typically block out time for pet clients first thing so they always get my full attention and energy. Weekends are especially flexible for boarding or extended visits. I treat every booking like it’s my own pet — reliable, on-time, and with plenty of updates so owners can relax. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute drop-in or multi-day house-sitting, I make sure it works seamlessly with my day. I always put safety and comfort first, whether I’m at your home or hosting in mine. In your home (drop-ins, walks, house-sitting): I follow your exact instructions to the letter — feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, play preferences, and any house rules. I keep your place spotless (no mess left behind), secure all doors/windows, and send plenty of photo/video updates so you can relax. I’m fully background-checked and treat every home like my own. For boarding/overnight stays in my Downey home: My place is pet-proofed — no dangerous items within reach, secure yard/fencing, cozy crates and beds available, and separate areas if needed for multiple pets. I maintain a calm, clean environment with regular cleaning, fresh water always available, and lots of playtime and cuddles. Pets get my full attention — no leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to accommodate special needs like puppy energy, senior mobility, or anxious pets with extra patience. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness is my top priority — they’ll come home happy and tired!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always come easily to me. As a dog groomer, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes with patience and care. I’m a true animal lover who treats every pet with love. I enjoy taking dogs on calm, enjoyable walks in nature to keep them happy and active. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time. So I have a lot of free time to play and cuddle with your pet so they don’t feel lonely. I am always ready to cuddle or play if they want or need! I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.

About: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs consistently. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets! I have a golden retriever named Berkley who loves to go on walks but prefers to be at the beach! I work a hybrid schedule and love to start the day off with some good exercise with my Goldie! Having my routine helps me to be there for other doggies who also thrive on a good walking routine! I care for my pets by administering treats and such. Berkley is crate trained but we’ve long since ditched the crate and have successfully transitioned to free roaming.

Anika was excellent! I needed someone to drop by and take care of my cats for seven days while I was out of the country. Anika stopped by a day before to meet with me and the cats. I told her that the cats are shy and likely to hide during the visits. Boy! Was I wrong. By the end of my trip, one cat was showing his stomach, letting Anika rub him, and posing for pictures. Anika was also nice enough to give me updates about the feral cats who visit. I would definitely recommend Anika for your fur babies.

Letting someone into your home take care of your oets is a nerve-racking experience. We are so grateful to have found Vy. She was very thorough on making sure she understood what our pets needs were before, even stopping by before the term started. She was a great communicator, letting us know every time she stopped by with photos and we felt like we were there real time in terms of updates. It really put our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her next time we head out of town!

This was my 2nd time booking Hailee & she went above and beyond! When she arrived at my house, one of the smoke detectors was going off and she made sure the house was safe before leaving my pets at home alone. She was calm and professional in dealing with me and that unexpected situation. She takes wonderful pictures and truly seems to care about my pets. I recommend her highly!
